How to prepare for NEET-UG
- Biology carries half the marks, and most of it is direct recall from the NCERT textbooks, so careful reading and repeated revision pay off.
- Physics and Chemistry need steady problem practice; keep a record of the formulae and reactions you keep forgetting.
- On an OMR sheet, marking accurately under time pressure is a skill: practise full-length papers on the same timing.
